McK petitions done, EIR in works

Mad RiveR Union

Statue defenders gather 1,769 signatures, ballot measure looking likely even as scoping for removal EIR proceeds

ARCATA – The Arcata City Council last week considered a possible ordinance requiring Arcata firearms owners to store their weapons unloaded and locked up in a safe or locker. No action was taken other than to direct staff to develop language for future consideration. That may be done in conjunction with the new Public Safety Committee, which forms this August. The ordinance came at the urging of two Northcoast Preparatory Academy students, Olivia Joachim and Eva Swartz. In a letter to the council, the two advocated safer gun storage based on Humboldt County’s gun-related death rate of 17.1 per 100,o00 people –much higher than the statewide rate of 7.7 per 100,000. “Please save lives by keeping guns out of the hands of minors,” the two ask in the letter. A staff report said the ordinance could address negative firearm impacts including children and teenagers accessing weapons, felons and people with mental health issues doing so, escalation of domestic violence incidents, and thefts of unlocked firearms from home. Skeptics of the ordinance, none of whom showed up to address the council, hold that it is unenforceable and would put responsible gun owners at risk by preventing them from responding to intruders with force in a timely fashion. Councilmember Paul Pitino said the ordinance “symbolically tells whoever owns that gun that they have to control it” and is an initial step in reducing gun violence. “I think it starts the conversation,” he said. Mayor Sofia Pereira thanked the students and said the ordinance could be educational.

ARCATA – Organizers of the petition drive to keep the statue of President William McKinley on the Plaza have completed their signature gathering in time for

the Monday, May 21 deadline to turn them in. The initiative seeks to place a measure on the Nov. 6 ballot which, if approved, would override the City Council’s Feb. 21 decision to remove the statue. While 961 signatures of Arcata

voters were required in order to qualify a ballot measure, Councilmember Michael Winkler – the sole vote against removal and a co-organizer of the petition drive – said that some 1,769 signatures were collected.

He said by comparing the signatures to voter rolls, he determined that 452 of them weren’t valid, mostly due to obsolete addresses. But that still leaves 1,317 valid ones – enough of a margin for the petition to comfortably qualify a ballot measure. Winkler said pro-statue advocates are “open to a compromise that honors our histories – plural.” Options include installation of an interpretive plaque near the statue which would offer historical context, and creation of another statue or display honoring indigenous peoples. Wiinkler said he expected anti-statue activists to attempt to invalidate the petition. “We have legal representation and will deal with that as necessary,” he said. Harassment abundant Both pro-statue petitioners and statue opponents report being harassed by some of those who hold opposing views. Winkler said he was followed by an angry man for five blocks, with the fellow barking out rhetorical questions at him. Eventually on the Plaza, two citizens confronted the man and asked him to stop, and he hasn’t further acted out since. While gathering signatures in a downtown business, Winkler said an anti-statue activist tried to dissuade citizens from signing his petition. The activist even blocked the door of the business for a time, preventing his exit, but eventually relented. Professional petitioner Louise Brotz (also a Union contractor) reported numerous harsh comments by statue dislikers, particSTATUE

ularly as she tabled outside the Arcata Co-op. “You just can’t let the minorities win one, can you?” asked one person. Last week, a woman wearing an “FBI” cap hovered around Brotz, supposedly taking video of her. Brotz returned the favor, shooting video of the woman with her cell phone. Winkler said he appreciated those with opposing views who managed to remain focused on the issue of the statue. “I want to give kudos to the people on the opposite side who are behaving respectfully and concentrating on the issues and avoiding personal attacks,” he said. He cited activist Fhyre Phoenix as pursuing statue removal in a cordial and responsible fashion. The last City Council meeting included several calls for Winkler to be both censured and censored by the council for his pro-statue petitioning and for referring to the raucous crowd of anti-statue activists at the Feb. 22 council meeting as a “lynch mob.” So far, the rest of the council, all four of whom voted to get rid of the statue, has shown no inclination to discipline their dissenting colleague. Anti-statue advocate and removal fundraiser Fhyre Phoenix also reported harassment. He said that while protesting the statue outside Jacoby’s Storehouse recently, a man claiming to be a Wiyot Indian locked onto him and revved up a stream of abuse. The man asked numerous questions, but interrupted the answers and argued with him. The man then went and sat in one of the display chairs outside Arcata Exchange and called him names for a time, yelling “nasty” things across the intersection of Eighth and H streets. The would-be Wiyot also went over to Brotz, who was petitioning outside the Post Office, held up her pro-petition sign and told Phoenix his efforts “don’t matter at all.” Meanwhile, Phoenix’s fundraising to cover statue removal expenses is proceeding apace. The cost has been estimated at up to $65,000, and as of last Thursday, Phoenix had raised $800 and turned over a $500 check to the City of Arcata. Last Saturday, he was to host a potluck party in his McKinleyville front yard to raise more funds.

City scopes McKinley EIR project alternatives Kevin L. Hoover Mad RiveR Union

ARCATA – The City of Arcata wouldn’t usually hold a meeting at the D Street Neighborhood Center to scope the legally required project alternative projects in an Environmental Impact Report. But this was not your usual project or a routine EIR – it’s the environmental document for the removal of the statue of William McKinley from the Plaza. While moving a statue might not seem like an environmental issue in terms of birds, bees, fish and trees, it’s the historic environment that this EIR will focus on. Arcata’s General Plan identifies the McKinley statue as a feature of the historic Plaza district. The California Environmental Quality Act says that an impact to a historic district is an environmental impact, thus the report. Maybe. The city is hiring a consultant to make a study to verify whether the statue is a historic resource, removal of which substantially changes the Plaza’s historical significance. But for now, the city is assuming it is, and is taking the initial steps to compose an EIR. Part of that is identifying project alternatives – from leaving the statue in place to banishing it from Arcata altogether. On the east side of the hall was a line of chairs – not quite enough to accommodate the more than two dozen attendees. Along the opposite wall was a line of tables bearing sheets of butcher paper, each offering one of the project alternatives for public comment to be supplied with Post-It notes. Alternatives offered included doing nothing (a CEQA-required option); remove the statue and store it offsite; relocate it to Redwood Park; relocate outside Arcata; and any other alternatives anyone might have. By way of creating a substantive EIR, Community Development Director David Loya asked participants to focus on environmental impacts and feasible ways to minimize and mitigate them, and to offer the reasoning behind their suggestions – to say why. Most relevant were comments on biological resources, historical resources and aesthetic impacts.

McKINLEYVILLE – Arcata Fire District responded to a rubbish fire on Douglas Avenue in McKinleyville on Monday, May 14. Crews were notified at 10:01 a.m. of a reported vegetation fire on Douglas Avenue in McKinleyville with threat to nearby structure. Upon arrival, units found access challenging due to a long, narrow road and a driveway blocked by multiple vehicles and travel trailers. On scene, personnel used one dry chemical extinguisher and a five-gallon water can to hold the fire that had ignited the structure while additional crews made access to the area through a neighbor’s fence, completing a hose lay and completely extinguishing the fire. The fire occurred in a non-hydrant area so it required multiple fire engines and additional staffing to maintain a constant water flow for firefighters. Arcata sent three engines, three volunteers and two chief officers. E1274, of Cal Fire Trinidad Station, provided mutual-aid. Engines from Humboldt Bay, Fieldbrook and Samoa also provided coverage of the district. Fire grows and spreads rapidly so any delays to the fire response can result in a significant increase in fire damage. Ensure that access to your residence is well marked and clear of obstacles such as overgrown brush, vehicles, and potholes. Value of the residence saved is estimated at $260,000. The items destroyed in the fire included three vehicles, numerous tools and pieces of equipment, and other common household items. MISSING WOMAN The Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office needs the public’s help to locate a missing Blue Lake woman. On May 14 at about 1:30 p.m., the Humboldt County Sheriff’s Office received a missing persons report for Blue Lake resident Janet Egan.

Taking a closer look at the candidates for the Fifth District Madrone’s many fictions

Trinidad Rancheria has been the subject of harassment and abuse during the Fifth District Supervisor campaign and unfairly characterized and targeted. Some of the statements made to the press by Steve Madrone and his supporters have bordered on racist and discriminatory remarks and have gone unchecked. I am writing this letter to the editor to express my deep concern and also to separate facts from fiction. Trinidad Rancheria is not running for Fifth District Supervisor. Ryan Sundberg is a Trinidad Rancheria tribal member, a Native American of Yurok decent and has worked tirelessly to help all Native Americans in Humboldt County and the entire state. Ryan has also worked tirelessly for all Humboldt County residents without any partiality. Ryan has improved county and tribal relationships since he has been Fifth District Supervisor. It is unfair to position tribe against tribe as Madrone has done. In his quest to become the next supervisor, Madrone has knowingly promoted untrue statements about Ryan as well as the Trinidad Rancheria. Capitalizing on tribal differences and securing endorsements from large tribes based on inaccurate information shows a lack of integrity. Madrone is making promises to support tribal issues he knows nothing about. How could he be truly representing all tribes fairly when he has not met with Trinidad Rancheria? He is not basing his campaign on facts. I have to wonder what promises he is making? Madrone has taken credit and has been quoted in the press as being responsible for bringing in over $10 million for the Trinidad Pier. This is FICTION. Madrone had absolutely nothing to do with securing the grants that were applied for that eventually funded the pier. The Trinidad Rancheria is an environmental steward and has worked tirelessly to protect the Trinidad Harbor. We, the Trinidad Rancheria, worked with the City of Trinidad to secure the first $2.5 million in funding that was the leverage point for the entire project. The Rancheria wrote the grant, the City of Trinidad administered and oversaw the grant. The Rancheria went on to secure grant funding from the Federal Highway Administration, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, the Tribal Transportation Funding allocated to Trinidad Rancheria annually, as well as the California Coastal Conservancy. Madrone did not work with the Rancheria or even communicate with the Rancheria during this grant leveraging process. The project did not cost $10 million. The total funds were approximately $8.3 Million. I am appalled that Madrone would embellish and mislead the Fifth District voters and make them believe he was the catalyst behind this effort. Trinidad Rancheria worked on permitting and securing funding for this project for over five years. This pier is owned and operated by Trinidad Rancheria for the entire community. Don’t be misled by Madrone’s political statements regarding all of his accomplishments. Another one of Madrone’s favorite topics is the Trinidad Rancheria Interchange. He has not participated in any of the community meetings held, has not been willing to meet with the Rancheria to discuss the project, and is misleading the Fifth District voters once again. His statements are fiction! Fact: The Rancheria gave up Tribal Lands in the late 1960s in order for U.S. Highway 101 to be built. Unfortunately, the tribe did not receive direct access to its property as part of this project. The Rancheria lost over 12 acres on the other side of the freeway as a result. This became a social justice issue for the Tribe and has become its highest priority project. Fact: Since 2001, the Trinidad Rancheria has completed several planning studies in order to study safe accessibility to the Trinidad Rancheria and the surrounding areas, and to investigate alternatives that would provide improved access for current and future needs. Since 2012, a Project Development Team (PDT) has met to guide the project through the project development process. This PDT team has been instrumental to date in developing the purpose and need for the project and preparing the project to reach this stage. The PDT team will continue to play a key role in guiding the project through to completion. Fact: The Tribe has spent in excess of $1,230,060 of its own funding on this project. Recently the tribe received $775,000 in Advanced Project Development Element

v LET TERS Funds which will enable the Tribe to begin the environmental phase of the project. It is in this environmental phase that each and every alternative will be explored, put under the microscope and the community will have every opportunity to weigh in and voice their concerns. There are approximately 11 different alternatives. As you know, the CEQA – NEPA process does not allow one alternative to rise above another alternative until there has been a complete hearing process. Rumors are being circulated by Madrone that this project doesn’t address the needs of the entire community. This is fiction! Humboldt County Public Works Director Tom Mattson has gone on record saying that we must address the unstable conditions that exist on Scenic Drive. One major earthquake will shut down ingress and egress to all homes throughout all of Scenic Drive. The Rancheria wants to bring this discussion to the community. What can be done? There must be an alternative access route. Madrone wants to shut down a project he has not been a part of, has not worked on for 10 years. He wants to tout community solutions but hasn’t worked to bring any solutions. The Rancheria has. Ryan Sundberg is keenly aware of conflicts of interest with this project and has recused himself in his role on the HCAOG Board. Madrone should roll up his sleeves and share his solutions instead of trying to kill the only project that may be viable. Moving the project forward, to bring the actual project to the community, to provide an avenue for community involvement and understanding of project, and bringing forward preferred solutions, would show responsible leadership. So, I encourage all voters and interested community members to not take statements at face value, but to do your homework. Madrone’s slogan “it’s time for a change” is misguided and misleading. He doesn’t have a clue as to the work that has been done, he has tried to take credit for work he hasn’t done, and he is making promises to the Fifth District that he cannot deliver. Fact or Fiction... You decide! Garth Sundberg Tribal Chairman Trinidad Rancheria

A property rights problem

When I heard Steve Madrone explain how he favors property rights, I felt compelled to point out how his past actions are contrary to the “property rights” claims he currently is making in his run for Fifth District supervisor. First and foremost, most of us know Steve Madrone by the other name he has been using for decades which is “Sungnome Madrone.” The only thing Madrone favors about “property rights” is that he favors ignoring your property rights or taking them away. Case in point: A man named Mike Moss owned 94 acres of land near the highway on Fox Farm Road in Trinidad. Mike’s land was also near where Madrone lived. Mike was 60 years old and was planning his retirement so Mike proposed dividing his 94 acres into four parcels as part of his retirement. All the homes around Mike’s property were on small parcels of 1-5 acres, including that of Sungnome (Steve) Madrone’s. Madrone approached the agents Mike was using and informed them that if Mike did not hire him (Madrone) to assist with Mike’s project that he (Madrone) would see that the project would never happen. Well, Madrone wasn’t hired because nobody believed Madrone had the skills to do the job and because Mike would not be extorted by Madrone’s claims that he could stop Mike from his four way parcel split. In response not being hired by Mike, Madrone started to trespass on Mikes property to interfere with the work being done by Mike’s agents that had been hired to divide the 94-acre parcel into four parcels. In court documents regarding the injunction issued against Sungnome “Steve” Madrone, it states that after Madrone was enjoined from trespassing on Mike’s property, Madrone intentionally sought to evade the court order by sending his (Madrone’s) minor son onto the property. Poor Mike again had to threaten to go to court to stop the harassment of the workers on his property. Madrone’s lack of respect for everyone else’s property rights was made clear

Sundberg delivers for the 5th

by what Madrone did to Mike to stop this simple four-way lot split. Madrone and his friends filed lawsuits and other actions, simply to delay the approval of this project and to drum up the costs for this parcel split assuming Mike would just give up. Madrone and his friends held up this four-way parcel split for 19 years. Not only was Mike deprived of what he needed for his retirement, the frivolous court actions almost sent Mike to the poor house. After numerous courts rebuked Madrone and his friends, Mike was able to proceed with his four-way lot split because nothing that Madrone and his friends were claiming about the lot split was true and the claims were only made to cause delay and drum up costs so Mike would give up. Poor Mike was 80 years old by the time this four-way lot split was approved due to Madrone’s contempt for Mike’s property rights. These are not the actions of a person who claims to support property rights, unless Madrone’s so called support of “property rights” means that Madrone doesn’t recognize that a person has property rights, and that everyone else’s rights are subservient to what Madrone wants. I have knowledge of all of this because I was the realtor for this property when it was listed for sale. Although this was many years ago, I feel it is important information about his actions and how they are different than what Sungnome “Steve” Madrone states is his so called current position. Tina Christensen Hydesville

Sundberg’s misleading claims

Recent letters to the editor in local papers may have left readers with the confused impression that our Fifth District County Supervisor “did not ever support the permit application” by Mercer-Fraser in public or private. This is unbelievable, because as a constituent, when I contacted Mr. Sundberg asking him to join the Humboldt Bay Municipal Water district in opposing the cannabis refinery project proposed at the Glendale gravel plant, he did not express any sentiment that could be understood as withholding his support for the permit application. Instead Ryan stated that he was having conversations with both the Water District and Mercer-Fraser to seek changes that would allow the project to move forward. His actions were not opposing a bad project as many residents had requested, along with the Water District. Rather Ryan’s actions were clearly facilitating the cannabis refinery proposal. To make claims now that he was not in support of the cannabis processing refinery is at a minimum disingenuous, but really such claims are just plain misleading. The residents of the Fifth District deserve better representation. Scott Frazer Blue Lake

Follow the money

Have you seen the plethora of “vote for Sundberg” signs on every street corner with sometimes two to a corner? Each ultra-large sign has two T-posts holding it up. One 5-foot T-post is over $4. So my guess is that every sign cost Sundberg about $10 to put up. Now try counting the signs as you drive to work. How much money do you think Sundberg has backing him that he can put so much into signs? Where is he getting that money? Who is he beholden to as he sits on the Board of Supervisors and makes decisions that affect us all? Do you really think that he cares about the average family in Humboldt? When I worked to pass Measure V in November 2016, he could have listened to the request of his many constituents. Instead he actively campaigned against us. He supported his point of view by saying that the Mckinleyville Municipal Advisory Committee (McKMAC) voted against us. What he didn’t mention was the McKMAC is primarily old white men that he appointed. This time we actually have someone that we can vote for. Steve Madrone is out walking the streets of Humboldt County. He doesn’t have big signs but he knows us, the citizens of the 5th district. He is familiar with our issues. He appreciates our unique environment just like we do. I encourage you to vote for someone that will listen when we have an issue. Patti Rose McKinleyville

In these days of candidates offering false hopes and promises to get elected, it is refreshing to see an incumbent on the ballot who has proven that he can deliver the goods! Ryan Sundberg has consistently delivered to his constituents, throughout his tenure as Fifth District Supervisor. From his tireless advocacy to build the Mckinleyville Sheriff Substation, where we now have 11 deputies now serving our northern district, when we had but only two before, to his work on the California Coastal Commission and EPA Local Advisory Committee, Sundberg has proven and delivered on his obligation to keep our streets and environment safe and clean. His opponent, on the other hand, while offering promises of fresh ideas, offers no solutions as to how he would implement them. Sound familiar? Sundberg has proven he gets and delivers results. From making McKinleyville’s Central Avenue wider and safer, to organizing and participating in neighborhood trash patrols, Sundberg’s hard work and dedication to serving all of the citizens of the Fifth District, has proven that he is more than deserving of our continued support. I urge you all to vote for Ryan Sundberg June 5! Trent Shumard McKinleyville

Sundberg’s dismal CC record

Ryan Sundberg often refers to his seat on the California Coastal Commission as a reason to re-elect him as Fifth District Supervisor. However, what he doesn’t tell you is that he has the worst voting record on the current Commission when it comes to coastal access and preservation. For 20 years, Act Coastal has been issuing an annual report card on how each Commissioner voted on “the most significant permit applications and enforcement actions considered by the Commission.” Act Coastal (a project of the Surfrider Foundation, WILDCOAST, and Environment California) selected 21 votes to score in 2017, of which 16 had “good” conservation outcomes and only five had “bad” ones. The overall average score among the 12 Commissioners during 2017 was 72 percent. Sundberg was appointed by Governor Jerry Brown in March 2017 to fill a seat reserved for a North Coast representative. Since Ryan was not a Commission member for all of 2017, he had fewer votes, of which 5 were judged as “pro-Coast” and 6 were considered “anti-conservation,” giving him an average score of 45 percent. Thus, he voted more than half of the time against coastal conservation and the public interest. Before Sundberg’s appointment, the seat most recently was filled by Del Norte Supervisor Martha McClure (for 6 years) and Humboldt’s Bonnie Neely (for 12 years), until each lost an election and had to be replaced. Since that seat is reserved for a North Coast representative, a loss by Ryan in the June 5 election does not necessarily mean that Humboldt County would lose a voice on the Coastal Commission. And it could mean that we get someone who better represents the majority of Humboldt County residents when voting on important coastal issues. Susan Leskiw, McKinleyville

No dirty tactics

As a longtime business owner and resident of the Fifth District, I urge everyone to support Ryan Sundberg for Supervisor. Ryan grew up in Humboldt County, attended local schools, and graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from Humboldt State University. Ryan and his wife Kim, who was also born and raised here, have chosen to stay and raise their daughter Sofie in the Fifth District. It has been very difficult to watch supporters of his opponent sling exaggerations, half-truths, and outright lies about Ryan while Ryan continues to campaign honorably, demonstrating his commitment to resident and community interests. Clearly Madrone attracts and caters to individuals comfortable with dirty tactics – tactics Ryan has consistently choses not to use. We should not, and cannot, trust anyone else to represent our district. Please join me in voting for Ryan Sundberg as Fifth District Supervisor on June 5. Wes Green Jr. McKinleyville

Tax | ‘We can’t go down this road’ FROM A1

the Central Valley can’t afford. “And we pay for water now, I pay for it every month,” he said. Fennell dismissed the concept of water taxation, however. “We can’t go down this road of taxing the necessities of life,” she

Counties (CSAC), which proposes a position of support for the bill. Although Bohn has reservations about taxing water, he described it as a means of paying for water treatment upgrades that Hispanic communities in

said. “We don’t tax food, let’s not tax water, that’s even more important than food – what next, are we going to tax air? I mean, come on.” Board Chair Ryan Sundberg agreed with Fennell’s comments and Wilson said he’s “a bit conflicted.” Wilson said Humboldt also has disadvantaged communities but it’s uncertain whether most rural counties would have access to the tax funding because the bill doesn’t specify what defines eligibility. Supervisors took no action on developing a stance on the bill but directed Fennell to summarize the discussion’s content to CSAC.

ZERO WASTE AMBASSADOR Lily Farrell. Janine Volkmar | Union

Farmers’ Market wants to reduce waste to zero

ily Farrell has her gloves on and is digging through buckets of what you and I usually throw away. That's the question: where is away? The recycling center? Landfill? The compost bin? “Away” is a relative term. Even though the Arcata Plaza has good receptacles for recycling, the folks who bring you the Arcata Farmers’ Market want to go even farther on the road to Zero Waste. They want “away” to be the best possible solution. Farrell and her fellow volunteer Destinee Aleman are sorting through trash to make that happen. At each corner of the Plaza, they've set up buckets labelled compost, landfill, recycle, with clear signs showing exactly what can go in these buckets. They still need to sort that out a bit as market attendees get used to the system. It's a job Farrell does with good cheer and boundless enthusiasm. Farrell grew up in Southern Humboldt and is about to enter her senior year as an environmental studies major at Humboldt State University. She taught me a new concept as she explained her goals post graduation: food deserts. “Food deserts are low-income communities that have no access to fresh food,” she said. “There are lots of efforts to develop community gardens in them, to make fresh food both physically and monetarily available. I’m volunteering in places like the Farmers’ Market to work my way into helping with food deserts.” She interrupted herself to explain to a market goer where he should put his oyster shells. Right now that's next to the labeled buckets but the volunteers are working toward a solution. (Anyone need some shells for their garden art?) The compost that is collected goes to The Local Worm Guy, a family-owned business in Fieldbrook. The husband and wife team of Lloyd and Stacey Barker provide commercial composting services and also sell worms. After a year on their farm, your compost from the market will be converted by Red Wiggler composting worms into vermicompost – “a nutrient rich and microbially diverse material ideal for building living soil,” according to the market's website, northcoastgrowersassociation.org/zerowaste.html. Ivy North, director of programs for the North Coast Growers Association, is enthusiastic about the Zero AT THE MARKET

HUMBOLDT – It’s time to gear up for four days of fun as the Kinetic Grand Championship kicks off this weekend, beginning in Arcata and ending in Ferndale. Kinetic Thrills Pageantry Party New this year is the Kinetic Thrills Pageantry party, which is on Friday, May 25 from 6 p.m. to midnight at the Arcata Community Center, 321 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Dr. Racers will debut their team’s pageantry and pick up their official registration materials. Teams competing in the Kinetic Grand Championship are graded for speed, engineering, art and pageantry, with each team kicking off the race with a song, dance, or skit of varying complexity. The evening will also include veteran kinetic racers and dignitaries sharing their stories of races past. Though previously announced at $10, admission to this event is free for all. Glorious KGC sponsor Petaluma Poultry will have a fantastic food truck at the party! Race Day 1 The race begins this Saturday, May 26, with racers gathering on the Arcata Plaza at 9 a.m. as they await the noon siren, at which time they get rolling. Teams enter the Arcata Plaza at H Street and Ninth Street then circle the square, subjecting themselves to judgement by experts in important Kinetic Categories like Art, Engineering, Safety, Kinetic Thrills and Safety. Watch the pageantry and “Brake Test.” Then eventually, the Queen will decide it is “noon,” and set off the siren. Once they scramble to their seats, pilots will speed their sculptures around and around the town square until Rampmeister opens the starting gate, and releases the Kinetic Madness on the road to glory! Racers make their way down State Route 255 on their way to the Manila Community Center at 1611 Peninsula Dr. That’s where the Kinetic Festival will be held from noon to 3 p.m. Kinetic racing teams will pit stop and take a quick break at the festival, then prepare their sculptures to

ne of the best qualities of the City of Blue Lake is that it is a small community, where everyone knows pretty much everyone. Being small can also be seen as an obstacle for small towns at times, and we have had our share of obstacles – no coffee shop for the past year or so has been one of those. I know, it may seem like a little thing, maybe even a First World problem, but in our little town, someone saw this need, and had a dream to fill it. On Friday morning, May 18 I stopped in to the Mad River Grange at 7 a.m. for the first day of “Coffee Club,” where I was greeted with the smiling faces of Sarah Finestone and her friend Sean Stanford Graves with hot brewed coffee in hand. Sean will gladly educate you on the many types of coffee, and provide a special pour if you care to sit and enjoy your coffee in house. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time that morning to sit and chat like I really wanted, so I brought my to-go cup and filled it with the local dark roast already brewed, grabbed a strawberry scone (baked by Sarah herself), and donated a few bucks to the cause. The scone was so amazing; I ended up going back 30 minutes later to pick up another! When I walked in during my first time, there was already a couple people sitting, drinking coffee and learning from Sean, but the second time I walked in, there was a nice bustle of people around, grabbing food or coffee, chatting with each other, and laughing, smiling, sharing in something special. You see, it’s not that we needed a coffee shop in Blue Lake because we need the upscale, fancy, “fru-fru,” elitist coffee, but rather because we as human beings are social creatures, and a coffee shop gives that outlet to mingle with the community, and in a place the size of Blue Lake, this is an important way to get to know our neighbors. Coffee Club will generally take place on Fridays at 7 a.m. at the Mad River Grange, located at 110 Hatchery Rd. in Blue Lake. There will be a couple weeks that it will be closed in June, those dates have yet to be determined, and then a large, grand opening will be scheduled sometime in July! So come on out Blue Lakers and beyond, and meet some new friends in our sweet town. MOKKA MUSIC Cafe Mokka in Arcata will present two musical artists on Memorial Day weekend. On Friday, May 25 will be Arcata-based band Chubritza, which plays international folk music with a Bulgarian and Eastern European/Balkan style and emphasis. On Saturday,

May 26 the cafe will host Balkan Bellows, billed as Arcata’s premiere accordion duet, whose melodies provide a combination of blending vocals and harmonious musical melodies of Eastern and Southern Europe. Both shows begin at 8 p.m., with no cover, and all ages welcome. Cafe Mokka is located at Fifth and J streets in Arcata. CROSSWORD SOLUTION ANSWER TO #5469 W A F T

At the market | Now with compostable bags FROM B1

Waste effort. “Zero Waste is part of our mission. We have given a guide to Zero Waste to all our vendors,” she said. “Little River Farm and Beck’s Bakery are using fully compostable bags, even though it costs them more money. And I take the compostable bag home, put my greens into a container, then use the bag as a liner for my kitchen compost. When it is full, just tie up the bag and throw the whole thing into your compost bin.” We both smiled at the idea of not having to scrub out the icky compost container in the kitchen. North did remind shoppers that the compostable bags do not keep produce fresh as long as plastic bags do, so transferring the produce into containers at home is important. John Severn of Little River Farm, who

sells those beautiful salad mixes and greens at the northeast corner of the Plaza, has been at the market since 1999. “Years ago, I saw the plastic island in the ocean online. I think it is as big as Texas now,” he said. Even the bags cost him up to 25 cents a piece, depending on how big a quantity he orders, it is his strong belief that he has to help in any way he can. “There’s no way to sell my product without some packaging,” he said. The bags are 100 percent biodegradable and other vendors have been asking him about them. So, getting ready to go to the Saturday market? Got your basket? Check. Reusable tote bag? Check. Mug for a hot drink? Check. Stop by and say thanks to the folks at Beck’s Bakery and Little River Farm. And give that hardworking Lily Farrell a thumbs up for a job well done!

Somehow he got roped into becoming a volunteer for this weekend’s Kinetic Sculpture Race,. He’ll be at the beach in Manila pulling the machines through the sand. Freedomhowler said that he appreciates living in a community where people engineer and build such machines, something he said he never plans to do given the technical and engineering challenges involved.

On May 8, 2018, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution PC-18-02 recommending that the City Council approve the Environmental Impact Report (EIR) prepared for the project, but a tie resulted in a failed vote on Resolutions PC-18-03 and PC-18-04, referring to the necessary general plan and zoning amendments, and the permits, respectively. The project requires: 1) Design Review for the demolition of all existing structures and the development of the new buildings, low-impact development landscaping, and parking facilities; 2) amendments to the City’s General Plan and Zoning maps to change the properties’ zoning and land use designations from Industrial Limited (IL) and Residential Low-Density (RL) to Residential High-Density (RH) and to add a Planned Development (:PD) overlay to exceed the 35’ height limit of the RH zoning; and 3) merger of the seven underlying parcels to allow uniform development of the entire site. The project also includes a Development Agreement, the development of a portion of the Rail-with-Trail along an approximately 510’ long segment (see map below) of St. Louis Rd. to be vacated, a pedestrian path along the northern property line to Maple Ln., new curb, gutter and sidewalk along St. Louis Rd to the St. Louis Rd overpass and a new bus stop. All vehicular access will be from St. Louis Rd. The project will be served by community water and sewer.

Canines to join in Kinetic madness

o much going on in Dogtown this week! There are reduced fees at the shelter, a special needs dog looking for the right home and Rescue Dog Sparky will be riding again at the Kinetic Sculpture Race! The shelter continues

to see large numbers of dogs arriving each week, including several litters of puppies. There does tend to be an increase at this time of year, though I refuse to believe it is a result of students leaving, just because I don’t want to think people would do that.

Ruby

At this writing, there are 35 dogs available for adoption. There is a wide selection of sizes, breeds and ages. There are seven puppies about three months old – three from a litter of German Shepherd mix and four that are hound mix from a Jack Russell mother (!). Definitely something for everyone and the shelter is offering reduced adoption fees through FriKinetic canine racers day.

She has some neurological deficits that may be from birth or an accident. Her eyesight is affected, though she definitely has some sight, and she has a tendency to turn to the right, especially when excited. Volunteers love this little girl, who is very fond of her friends. She walks fine on a leash and can navigate familiar spaces just fine. She was adoptable at the shelter for a while, but her reduced sight caused her to fail a retest for food aggression as she objected strongly to the prosthetic hand in her bowl.
